=head1 NAME

PPIx::Regexp::Token::Modifier - Represent modifiers.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use PPIx::Regexp::Dumper;
 PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new( 'qr{foo}smx' )
     ->print();

The trailing C<smx> will be represented by this class.

This class also represents the whole of things like C<(?ismx)>. But the
modifiers in something like C<(?i:foo)> are represented by a
L<PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Modifier|PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Modifier>.

=head1 INHERITANCE

C<PPIx::Regexp::Token::Modifier> is a
L<PPIx::Regexp::Token|PPIx::Regexp::Token>.

C<PPIx::Regexp::Token::Modifier> is the parent of
L<PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Modifier|PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Modifier>.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class represents modifier characters at the end of the regular
expression.  For example, in C<qr{foo}smx> this class would represent
the terminal C<smx>.

=head2 The C<a>, C<aa>, C<d>, C<l>, and C<u> modifiers

The C<a>, C<aa>, C<d>, C<l>, and C<u> modifiers, introduced starting in
Perl 5.13.6, are used to force either Unicode pattern semantics (C<u>),
locale semantics (C<l>) default semantics (C<d> the traditional Perl
semantics, which can also mean 'dual' since it means Unicode if the
string's UTF-8 bit is on, and locale if the UTF-8 bit is off), or
restricted default semantics (C<a>). These are mutually exclusive, and
only one can be asserted at a time. Asserting any of these overrides
the inherited value of any of the others. The C<asserted()> method
reports as asserted the last one it sees, or none of them if it has seen
none.

For example, given C<PPIx::Regexp::Token::Modifier> C<$elem>
representing the invalid regular expression fragment C<(?dul)>,
C<< $elem->asserted( 'l' ) >> would return true, but
C<< $elem->asserted( 'u' ) >> would return false. Note that
C<< $elem->negated( 'u' ) >> would also return false, since C<u> is not
explicitly negated.

If C<$elem> represented regular expression fragment C<(?i)>,
C<< $elem->asserted( 'd' ) >> would return false, since even though C<d>
represents the default behavior it is not explicitly asserted.

=head2 The caret (C<^>) modifier

Calling C<^> a modifier is a bit of a misnomer. The C<(?^...)>
construction was introduced in Perl 5.13.6, to prevent the inheritance
of modifiers. The documentation calls the caret a shorthand equivalent
for C<d-imsx>, and that it the way this class handles it.

For example, given C<PPIx::Regexp::Token::Modifier> C<$elem>
representing regular expression fragment C<(?^i)>,
C<< $elem->asserts( 'd' ) >> would return true, since in the absence of
an explicit C<l> or C<u> this class considers the C<^> to explicitly
assert C<d>.

The caret handling is complicated by the fact that the C<'n'> modifier
was introduced in 5.21.8, at which point the caret became equivalent to
C<d-imnsx>. I did not feel I could unconditionally add the C<-n> to the
expansion of the caret, because that would produce confusing output from
methods like L<explain()|PPIx::Regexp::Element/explain>. Nor could I
make it conditional on the minimum perl version, because that
information is not available early enough in the parse. What I did was
to expand the caret into C<d-imnsx> if and only if C<'n'> was in effect
at some point in the scope in which the modifier was parsed.

Continuing the above example, C<< $elem->asserts( 'n' ) >> and
C<< $elem->modifier_asserted( 'n' ) >> would both return false, but
C<< $elem->negates( 'n' ) >> would return true if and only if the C</m>
modifier has been asserted somewhere before and in-scope from this
token. The
L<modifier_asserted( 'n' )|PPIx::Regexp::Element/modifier_asserted>
method is inherited from L<PPIx::Regexp::Element|PPIx::Regexp::Element>.

=head1 METHODS

This class provides the following public methods. Methods not documented
here are private, and unsupported in the sense that the author reserves
the right to change or remove them without notice.

);
my %de_aggregate;
foreach my $value ( values %aggregate ) {

# Note that we do NOT want the /o modifier on regexen that make use of
# this, because it is already compiled.

sub __new {
    my ( $class, $content, %arg ) = @_;

	or return;

    $content =~ m{ \A $capture_group_leader* \^ }smx	# no /o!
	and defined $arg{tokenizer}->modifier_seen( 'n' )
	and $self->{__caret_undoes_n} = 1;

    return $self;
}

=head2 asserts

 $token->asserts( 'i' ) and print "token asserts i";
 foreach ( $token->asserts() ) { print "token asserts $_\n" }

This method returns true if the token explicitly asserts the given
modifier. The example would return true for the modifier in
C<(?i:foo)>, but false for C<(?-i:foo)>.

Starting with version 0.036_01, if the argument is a
single-character modifier followed by an asterisk (intended as a wild
card character), the return is the number of times that modifier
appears. In this case an exception will be thrown if you specify a
multi-character modifier (e.g.  C<'ee*'>).

If called without an argument, or with an undef argument, all modifiers
explicitly asserted by this token are returned.

    }
}

# This is a kluge for both determining whether the object asserts
# modifiers (hence the 'ductype') and determining whether the given
# modifier is actually asserted. The signature is the invocant and the
# modifier name, which must not be undef. The return is a boolean.

=head2 match_semantics

 my $sem = $token->match_semantics();

 print "This token has $sem match semantics\n";

This method returns the match semantics asserted by the token, as one of
the strings C<'a'>, C<'aa'>, C<'d'>, C<'l'>, or C<'u'>. If no explicit
match semantics are asserted, this method returns C<undef>.

=head2 modifiers

 my %mods = $token->modifiers();

Returns all modifiers asserted or negated by this token, and the values
set (true for asserted, false for negated). If called in scalar context,
returns a reference to a hash containing the values.

=cut

sub modifiers {
    my ( $self ) = @_;

}

=head2 negates

 $token->negates( 'i' ) and print "token negates i\n";
 foreach ( $token->negates() ) { print "token negates $_\n" }

This method returns true if the token explicitly negates the given
modifier. The example would return true for the modifier in
C<(?-i:foo)>, but false for C<(?i:foo)>.

If called without an argument, or with an undef argument, all modifiers
explicitly negated by this token are returned.
